Thread: playing with wide wheels/low offsets on my b14..

and looking for some pics, i know s132nr does the whole "stance" thing and i know he has had a lot of wheels with crazy offsets, does anyone else do the same? anyone have pics of their wheels poking out of their fenders?

i ask because as some of you know i am unsure if my newly aquired big brake kit will fit underneath my 15" XXR 513's..so if need be i will upgrade to a 16 inch wheel but hope to keep a bit of a lower offset to keep the wide stance of the car because i love what it does for the handling aspect of my driving..

i am just wondering if i should stay with a 7" wide wheel or if i should go with maybe an 8" wide one and see where that brings me..

does anyone have a b14 with a low offset wheel with maybe a tiny bit of tire stretch? if so, lets see some pics! and let me know the wheels size/width/offset and also tire size..thanks

how big is your bbk? is it 11.75 wilwoods? or ad22's? if you have wilwoods, they may not fit. I personally have them and i can only run about 4 "proven-to-fit" wheels over my bbk. (im not 100% about low offsets)

its the fastbrakes nx upgrade kit..

oh ok, so you got the ad22's. I know more about wilwood fitments than i do with ad22's. Sorry i dont think i can help much. but on my wilwoods, the lowest i could do without hitting the caliper is my current setup (TE-37 15x7 +35) but then again, im all about function.

yea, so am i, trying to get the smallest wheel i can over these brakes cuz id hate to get rid of them..they would look great (and work very well) on the car..

..and i would love to stay 15 on the wheels, but also have some sort of budget..i know the roomier 15 inch wheels tend to demand a higher pricetag..(rpf1's and others..)

and im looking at around 400 shipped for a full set of new 16x8 XXR's ..which aint too bad..

What size wheel are you trying to run

if i can still have a 15 id be happy..but if i cant i will go 16..but want to keep the lower offset like i said before..

So what are the specs of the 16s? 16x8 + ??

I personally did lots of research on rpf1's (lol i sound like some engineer) but after reading, people have said rpf1's are one of the most big brake unfriendly wheels. However they may fit with a 10mm+ spacer.
400 shipped is pretty good. is that rims only or wheels & tires?
